Christina Ricci is going viral for showing off some world-class snark.
The *Yellowjackets* star proved that she isn't one to back down from a battle with a social media post on Tuesday, biting back at an insensitive remark from conservative influencer Emily Wilson, who goes by EmilySavesAmerica online.
Last week, Wilson shared a car selfie alongside the caption, "Post pilates cause fat chicks vote democrat."
The post must have caught Ricci's eye because she responded days later in a direct reply.
"I’m skinnier than you you a--hole and I still vote democrat or as liberal as I can because there is more to life than being thin," Ricci wrote. "What you contribute to this world is what matters, loser."

The post has earned over 22,000 likes on Threads and been reshared over 400 times — compared to the 7,000 likes that Wilson's original post earned, alongside 110 reshares.
While Wilson did not offer a direct response, she appeared to shade Ricci in a separate March 24 post, writing on Threads, "The Democrat women on here are MISERABLE damn I feel bad for yall so angry. Go get some sun."
The social media influencer describes herself as someone progressing "through her authentic journey from 'green-haired liberal' to conservative advocate."
Meanwhile, Ricci has been an outspoken critic of both Trump presidential administrations. In the aftermath of Donald Trump's first inauguration, Ricci shared her perspective on the matter with The Independent, explaining, "I think you've got to accept what happened and move on and make the best of it."

She added, "Stop whingeing about everything and do the best that you can with the situation you're given. One thing that's good about a conservative regime is that it's great for sub-culture—when everything's very liberal, there's nothing to rebel against."

Ricci has since taken to making her opinions known on social media. In addition to roasting Wilson, Ricci slammed other conservatives with direct replies on Threads. In one post she wrote "f--- you" in response to a user declaring that a woman's place is to be a "wife and mother" rather than a CEO or president.
Ricci also penned a response to Rep. Mark Harris (R-N.C.) after a post explaining his support of ICE.
"Let’s see some actual statistics about violent crime and who are the most prevalent and frequent offenders," Ricci replied. "Oh you don't want to? Oh right bc the bulk of violent assaults in this country can be attributed to white straight men. My bad. You absolute disgrace for a human."
